#Gardening : How to Make A Raised Garden Bed

Add caption

You know something is easy to make when the directions say “just add water.” Making a raised garden bed from a kit is almost that easy, since you only add dirt, plants, and then water. Raised garden bed kits come in a variety of sizes, so you can choose a bed that will fit into your available space and hold as many plants as you want to grow.

Elevated, ergonomically-designed kits are available to eliminate the strain of bending over when you garden. They’re great if you have back or mobility issues. Some kits come with casters so you can roll them around on a deck or patio. Kits with self-contained watering systems automatically water your plants; drainage holes on the bottom allow excess water to drain away.

MATERIALS :

• Pre-built raised bed kit
• Weed Block
• Top soil
• Sturdy Stakes
• Plant Props (available in assorted lengths)
• Tomato cages
• Velcro plant ties
• Wire plant ties with cutter
• Plants or seeds
